Biography

Patrick Stewart is a member of Clan Stewart.

Descendant of King Robert I. King Robert I, known as the Bruce, was King of Scots from 1306 to 1329.

Descendant of King Robert II. Robert II was King of Scotland from 1371 to 1390.

Patrick STEWART, 1st of Ledcreich b: ABT 1550 in Glenbuckie, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, was the eldest son of Alexander Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie, who is generally called Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th (or 5th) of Glenbuckie. ^[1][2]

He is mentioned in the following document as having participated in the murders of John and Hugh Stewart in Balquhidder: "Reg. Privy Seal. Vol.VI. No. 737. 8 Sept. 1569. Gift to Alexander Stewart in Pittareg of the escheat of numerous persons all from Balquhidder including Alexander Stewart in Gartnascrow and Andrew his son also Duncan Stewart his son, and Blak Alexander Stewart in Glenbuckie and Patrick his son, for the murder of Hugh and John Stewart, his brother, in the lands of Balquhider in December last [1568 ]". ^[1]Patrick was cited in the 1586 bond of manrent to Sir Duncan Campbell. ^[3]

As eldest son, Patrick inherited the title as Laird of Glenbuckie, but he is reported to have sold his lands or traded lands with his younger brother Duncan. Duncan received Glenbuckie and became Laird, and Patrick received Ledcreich and became the 1st Laird of Ledcreich. ^[1]

Note

The earliest references to the lands of Ledcreich (located on the north shore of Loch Voil in Balquhidder) are in the Medieval Holdings in Balquhidder assigned to William Stewart and Malcolm Maclery in 1480-1487 from the Exchequer Rolls of Scotland (Vol. 9. p566.) In 1502-1507, Ledcreich and other lands of Balquhidder were assigned to William Stewart and his son, Walter Stewart, with the power to have sub-tenants as recorded in the Exchequer Rolls (Vol. 12. p. 635) and from 1508-1513 (Vol. 13. p. 633.) This also seems to be confirmed in the family notes made by his later descendant, Patrick Stewart of Ledcreich in 1763, and published in the American Historical Register, Vol. I (Jan 1895), pp. 441-446.^[1]

According to the historical compiler, MacGregor, author of Landed Families of Strathearn, this "Patrick Stewart,"...was..."styled as eldest son to his father in a Bond of Manrent to Sir Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy in 1586. He did not succeed to the lands of Glenbucky but obtained those of Ledcreich and had issue." (children). This also seems to be confirmed in the family notes made by his later descendant, Patrick Stewart of Ledcreich in 1763, and published in the American Historical Magazine; University Press, Volume 8; Date: 1902.
